The white Hair Craze.

suppose most people who walk along
Broadway with their eyes open cannot
have failed to notice recently a remark
able increase in the number Of young
looking women with white hair that are
to be met nowadays. l am myself the
most credulous individual, and especially
where lovely woman is concerned, It dis
tresses me to find myself having the
smallest doubt as TO the genuineness Of
everything about her. But 1t seemed to
me so odd that such number Of white
haired women appeared all at once that !
was moved to make perquisitlon into the
subject, and consulted an affable acquaint-
ance OF mine who is what is styled ton.
sorinl artist
From him learned that the white hair
craze is the latest fashionable fad, and
that il is obtained by the same means that
were employed TO produce the daffodil
colo-ed tresses that have been so long in
vogue, but which having been adopted by
ladies Of certain class are now tabooed
by society. The bleaching mixture is
peroxide Of hydrogen, which, when mixed
with 2j per cent. Of ammonia, will in two
applications turn the blacklist hair snow
white by the simple process Of destroying
the coloring matter. OF course 1t is
frightfully injurious to health, as II with
ers the capillary tubes just as any other
vegetable is shriveled by burning, but
the ladies who use it don't mind running
their health as long az they can be in the
fashion.-New York Letter.

Al the Battle Of Gettysburr.

Very few civilians can rid their minds,
even when they knew better, Of the idea
that any one present at battle must see
the whole or large part OF it, or at the
least a very large amount Of smoke and
fighting. II is marvellous how very little
any one individual sees Of any one given
battle, though he may be in the very thick
of the fighting, or even at the headquar-
ters of the commander in chief real
lied that fully on the present occasion,
for although standing on one Of the most
advantageous spots to witness a portion
Of the fight, with the valley and town Of
Gettysburg lying below me and the
heights beyond in full view, reflected
that our line was twelve miles in length,
of which on even q clear day, with no in
tervening figures or smoke, could at
least only see about two miles.
Then again had always supposed, as /
am sure most other people suppose, that the
commander in chief ALWAYS took up posi-
ton where, field glass in hand, he could
command view of Q large part Of the
action. Gen. Meade's headquarters were
In a slight depression in dense wood,
whence you could see nothing hundred
yards of, and yet, strange to say, en- pas
SAINT, secluded as was this spot, the rebs
had ascertained the locality to a nicely
and shelled 1t with such vigor and accu-
racy that in ten minutes no less than six
teen horses belonging to the staff were
killed. The officers all escaped unhurt by
seating themselves under the friendly
shelter OF huge bowlders Of granite, where
they laughed and chatted and enjoyed the
thing as a big joke while the shells shrieked
and exploded beyond them.-Frank Bel
lew in New York Mail and Express.

The Jerry Buflders In Roma.

The Jerry builder is not to have It all
bis own way in Rome. The municipality
has at last interfered and declared that
overgrown, decrepit, insanitary structures
are no longer 10 be run up like mush-
rooms and finished of, let and inhabited
before the plaster is dry. The specula-
tors and contractors who have hitherto
been monarchs Of all they surveyed pro-
tested against this interference with the
vested interests of dishonest workman
ship; but the S. p. Q. r. will probably
stand firm, the evil having grown 10 In
tolerable and impossible dimensions.
There Is grim satisfaction In knowing
that the huge factories dor they resemble
nothing else) which disgrace the Esquiline
and the Pratt di CASTILLO are not quite 20
permanent as the Colosseum, and are
scarcely more desirable as places Of resi-.
dence. They viii rapidly crumble away,
to be replaced, perhaps, with buildings
more worthy o. the Eternal City. But In
the mean time, and for a generation or
two at least, Rome is architecturally dis
graced in the eyes Of the civilized world.

The Pig In Hawaii.

The pig is almost fetch in Hawaii; he
= credited with supernatural sagacity; is
sacrificed as an offering of popular avail
30 Pele, when that unpleasant goddess be-
comes obstreperous; is accounted, when
given by man to man, as the most delicate
expression Of friendship, and is the choicest
expression Of love and fealty that the sub
ject can offer his king. His baking Ia
- solemnly considered and carried out as
any sacrifcial rite. He is dispatched,
With all possible tenderness, after gen.
erous diet Of poi; his incipient bristles
ere delicately removed, and his Internal
machinery dished up as a particularly
agreeable bonnie bouche; he is washed and
cleaned and laid out white and innocent
for the fire. A hole is then dug in the
ground and lined with glistening banana
and ''ti'' leaves; red hot stones are placed
therein and others ill the interior Of the
pig. He is placed upon layer Of leaves,
two or three pals Of water are turned
upon him, vegetables and seaweed are
packed about him, the earth is replaced
and he is left to steam and bake until the
time set for the ''luau'' arrives. Deli
cious is he when served up at the table, as
pure and savory piece Of meat as any
man would wish to sit down to.-Hono-

WAS NECESSARY.
mEA Bixby Determined to Mako the

oEA Bixby Determiued TO Mako the
Heusehold Bills ~ Light as Possible.
Mrs. Bixby became convinced the other
6ay that retrenchment was absolutely
accessory In her household expenses.
'sBusiness IL dull,n she said, ''and
must make our bills as light as possible.
Poor husband Is quite worried over our
affairs. Now, how can save 30 or $40
and show Mr.. Bixby that women can be
economical II necessary / know" she
I'D suddenly, in the joyful tone OF one
Who has had a happy thought. 81 will

Then she put on her hat and went down
town, 20 elated over her ''clear saving OF
I've whole dollars" that she intended
walking home with Mr.. Bixby at noon
and telling him all about it.
~ wonder now," she said, as she
stopped before the windows Of glove
store, 81 wonder II / couldn't afford q
new pair Of those tan kid gloves with
stitching on the back. I really need
them, and I've saved S5 by going without
my hat, so-yes, III get them; they'll
cost only &C."
Ten minutes later she stood before the
nbbou counter in dry goods store.
This ribbon is really very cheap" she
was saying to herself. ''and ! need lot
Of ribbon awfully Iwonder II ! could af.
ford it today Let me see, I-oh, OF
course can, after saving IS on that hat"
And she bought ten yards Of ribbon at
twenty-five cents yard.
''Great sale Of embroidery" she read
on fiaring placard moment later.
"Just what I need" she said, "but
I've been doing without because wanted
to economize; but I'm sure Charles could
MT say anything II bought little when
I've saved five whole dollars"
So she bought "a little for $1.75.
Then she got ''the greatest kind Of bar
gain" in remnants Of French gingham for
1l.50.
al never would have bought it," she
said to herself, ''but it was SO cheap, and
then I'd saved five dollars this morning."
Before reaching her husbands Office
with the cheering news Of her economy
she had bought four yards Of lace, three
Of insertion, pound Il candy, two coli
lars and pair Of cuffs, pair Of slippers,
two pairs of hose, handkerchiefs, three
yards Of lawn, q fan, q bunch of roses,
another bair Of gloves, and six linen
handkerchiefs and two neckties for Mr..
Bixby.
Then she repaired TO Bixby's Office with
Aas tale Of her economy, and ended by
saying:
"And here's a few little things thought
! could afford after saving so much by
going without my hat"
Bixby asked few questions, made q
rapid calculation, and said in an utterly
heartless tone:
''See here, Sally, don't you economic
any more. You'll break me sure If you
do. You've got S18.9S worth Of things
already out Of that e5, and"
YOU'RE Just too mean for anything,

Bogus Jellies and Jams.

A physician who has studied ''the small
economies Of life' tells how the jellies
which some bakers put into their tarts
and jelly cakes are made No wonder
grocers can sell them SO cheaply. The
directions are as follows: Take four quarts
Of water aud half a pound Of alum; boil
two minutes; add thirty-two pounds Of
white sugar; boil five minutes longer;
strain while IL Is warm land the hotter IL
n the easier through coarse towel; when
nearly cold, add two ounces Of acetic acid
and one-Lalf pound Of real currant jelly.
When cool, pack IL in tumblers and label
with a picture Of a currant bush and o
child picking currants. II you desire o
vanilla jelly, add in place Of the currant
tam four twenty-five cent bottles OF the
extract Of vanilla, and stir I'm when nearly
cold. II you desire strawberry jam, pre-
pare the alum and sugar as before, and
odd half a pint OF the essence Of straw
berry; or, II lemon is desired, add essence
OF lemon. You can make what you like
with these proportions Of alum and water.
This Is the way 70 make the grocers jelly
and the jam that is placed on tarts in the
confectioneries and the bakeries. s.-Boston

The Properties Of Coca.

Mr.. Du Pre- expresses the opinion that
coca is the most potent nervine at mans
disposal. 'Its hygienic properties are
disclosed from its physiological proper
ties," Ia the verdic. pronounced by a
Spanish physician resident at San Saliva
dor, who furthermore declares that In hot
infusion coca is the most useful and
healthful beverage one can drink after
dining. IL is especially commendable to
the feeble and to those who have tran
scended the limits of sobriety In using al
cohol, and, therefore, should be tested in
asylums for inebriates. II surely and
certainly calms nervous excitability, and,
used in small quantities, enables one to
endure cold, rain and snow, and to defy
great fatigue, and restores the forces I'M
paired or lost by excesses.
In South American countries 1t Is popu-
larly used for indigestion, disordered
stomach, hysteria, hatulency, collie and
all intestinal troubles.
Ii is employed constantly by toilers in
the mines, and when they reach the mines
after marching several days through
forests and over mountains, sustained
alone by the use Of coca and maize, they
are permitted to eat at discretion through
four days and have perfect rest Co
caismo, or habitual intoxication by use Of
coca, becomes more incurable than alco-
holism or servitude to opiates, but its con-
sequences are not yet wholly measured
nor determined. Excessive and constant
use of the coca as an intoxicant begets
rapid moral and intellectual degradation
and decay, and the steady decline is inter-
rupted at intervals by resistless impulses
Of violence and brutality. The nature OF
the parent, when perverted by the drug,
is transmitted to the offspring, and the
inveterate vice, operating through genera
tions, is said to account for the brutality
Of certain races Of Indians, notably the
Quichas and Airnaras Of the Bolivian
Businesses. Washington Cor. Chicago

His SUNDAY Nose.

II once knew a sea captain who came
from about here" he continued in o
lighter strain, "who had an encounter
with shark in his youth and lost his
nose, and for the sake Of harmony rather
than vanity he had q tin false nose made
20 look as much like the lost feature a
possible. When he went 20 sea he tried
always to make his crew recognize the
Sabbath with appropriate respect and OBJ
servance; he therefore ingenuously had a
silver nose made for himself which he
wore on Sunday, keeping the tin nose for
week days, aud the signal was always re-
spected, so far as he knew. Perhaps be
never heard that the sailors always called
the Sabbath "Silver nose day." as they
might well have easily been pardoned for
doing. boston Post.

Louis Herbst, who Is one of the best
known Germans In South Jersey, cele-
brated the other day his third anniyer-
sary of q SKINNED milk diet. Mr.. Herbst
IL q large, finely formed man Of about
nifty years Of age, and weighs about two
hundred pounds. Three years ago he was
aflicted with dyspepsia and kidney
troubles and was advised by his physician
20 try diet Of SKINNED milk exclusively.
He tried the remedy for a couple OF
months and was so benefited by the diet
that he determined 10 try IL for O year.
At the expiration Of the latter period Mr..
Herbst's health was almost perfect. Far
from becoming thin or emaciated from the
long continued use Of SKINNED milk, his
form was, II possible, even more rotund
than before, and by the advice OF his
doctor he decided TO adopt skinned milk
- his exclusive diet permanently. For
three years he has eaten or drank abso-
lutely nothing but the article named-not
svcn water-and declared to HIS friends
who visited him yesterday that he pro-
posed TO continue skinned milk and dis
psnse with steaks, bread and butter and
bser for the rest Of his life.-Philadelphis
